highly pleased with the entertainment,
and there were repeated encores. Mrs.
Hinsdale has a remarkable sweet
voice, in excellent cultivation, and her
songs were loudly applauded. As an

equals, and her conception of charac
ter, intonation of voice and use of ges
ture were above criticism. - There .are

of touch and thorough understanding
of music as Miss Minto, and her play
ing gave general .-satisfaction. ...The

highly gratified. .

siastic regarding the tournament, and

Summer Pasturage. -
Nearly all the sheepmen of this
county are pasturing theifc'flocksin the
vicinity of Mt. Hood where the grass
is excellent. Some few have taken
their herds to Klickitat county and
are feeding them on the foothills of
Mt. Adams. The grass is not in as
fair condition as it was last year, except
in the mountain ranges, and. there is
very poor pasturage in the lowlands..
Sheep camps are established in many
places in the Cascade range, and as
I soon as the dry. hot weather begins
these are occupied by herders who
keep their sheep well in hand in the
vicinitv The greatest danger is from
wild animals, and the attacks of these
nave to be warded on conimuauy.
Thev prowl around the herd at nignt,
watching for an opportunity to carry
off a stray lamb or feast upon a maimed
ewe. Herders frequently have desper
ate fights with cougars and bears, and
only -conauor after an exhibition of
pluck and perseverance.
SIIEKLFF'S SALE.
Property, Sold Under the Hammer,
-Which Is Attached an Inter
esting: History.
This forenoon two sales were made
of property on foreclosure of mortgage
bvJ. C. Flanders, the mortgagor be-
ins- Rev. O. D. Tavlor. The land sold
comprised what was known as the Wil
son farm and the Hill farm, the former
containing 242 acres and the latter
815.15, and during the time of the
Worth Dalles fraduient Doom constru
ing the acreage oi xne otumoia.
River Fruit Co. We have been
informfid that the land is con
sidered as security for several
thousand dollars which the projector
of North and Grand Dalles still owe
the directors of the company, and it
has been suggested that this fore-
Closure and sale may quiet the title to
the property and destroy the security
of Mr. Taylor's creditors in the fruit
company. The property was oia iu uy
Mr. J. A. Johnson, oi tsunaio, wnu,
some years ago, was induced to invest
a large sum in North Dalles through
the persuasive influence of the good
sermons and button-hole conversations
of the nresident of the interstate in
vestment Co., and for which he has re
ceived little or no consideration.
There are also several other Buffalo
creditors of the reverend gentleman
and whose shekels have been invested
in the rock piles and sand dunes of the
barren waste on the norm siae oi m
river. Mr. Johnson bid the property
in for $12,736, and we believe he would
have had a cheap bargain it ne naa
paid $20,000 for the land. He js un
doubtedly amply secured for whatever
amount mav be due him, and it was
very fortunate that he should have ap-
T mi . . 11 J . .1. . r .
peared at i ns uanes uuriug me mmo
this sale was being made.
These circumstances will bring our
citizens in recollection of the time
when the east was flooded with litera
ture regarding the great city in Wash-
in cton:- of the sale of corner lots when
the shoe factory was built and the old
shed farther up the river; of the poor,
deluded people, having invested nearly
all their money in this fraudulent
scheme, coming out here to find the
hiiRinesn nnint and the true citv of the
Inland Empire on the Oregon side of
the river, instead of the Washington,
and returning penniless and dishearfr
ened. The true mstory oi iorin
Dalles, alias Grand Dalles, will furnish
an interesting chapter in some iuture
work, and it will eclipse in every ele
ment of deception the "Eden" de
scribed by Dickens in Martin Chuzzle-
wit or the "Sea Dreams" oi xennyson,

This Little Town Shows Many
Evidences
of Prosperity.
The founder "of the town of Rufus,
Mr. R. C. Wallace, spent the day in
the city on business. He says since
the flood of June. 1894, Grant has be
come almost deserted, and the town of
Rufus, two miles east, has given some
signs of prosperity. A great many
new buildings have been erected this
season, and there are other evidences
of enterprise and progress. Mr.
Wallace has established a steam ferry
on the Columbia, connecting the place
with Washington, and there are good
roads to Goldendale and other points
in Klickitat county. To Was30 there
is a good road, and a great deal of
freighting is done to different points
in Sherman county. The railroad
company receives in freights on car
load lots a large amount of money
every month, and a large portion of
the grain of Sherman is shipped from
this point. Wheat arrives daily from
last year's crop, and Mr. Wallace does
not believe the farmers will be through
hauling this grain before the coming
harvest. There is no sand surround
ing Rufus. and this is a great consid
eration in hauling heavy loads. If the
stages to Wasco and Goldendale were
to make this a station the town would
soon build up, and there is every pros
pect of this being done in the future.
Mr. Wallace is very hopeful of the
town, and expects to see it the leading
place in Sherman county in a little
while.
ANOTHER GORGEOCS CAB COMES.
Second Billing Brigade of the Great Wal
- lace Shows Does Its Work. -
It is only a week since the Great
Wallace Shows' No. 1 bill car was here
and decorated this town in flaming
colors from one end to the other. That
seemed enough to herald meat any ag
gregation, but a second one pulled . in
fast night and gave more beauty to
dull places. This car, like the first, is
a work of art inside and outside, and
certainly heralds a great show. A
small circus could not support two of
rvJsuch magnificence.
ZZ I Thin Aftf 'in in P.ll
This car 'is in charge of Mr. C. A.
Potter, a genial gentleman, who has
been in the show business for 35 years.
He is known the length and breadth
of the land as an advance agent. He
spends his winters in the service of
metropolitan dailies. He has served
two terms in the legislature of his
state. Mr. M. Fagin, the boss' bill
poster,is an expert and is ably assisted
by eighteen experts. This force makes
a specialty of advertising the excur
sions which all the lines of railroad
coming into town will run on show
day at greatly reduced rates.
The sight of such a car as' this and
the one which preceded it gives one
confidence in the greatness of the
show they herald. Cheap aggrega
tions could not support so much splen
dor, - -
Che Grain Harvest.
In some localities the harvest in this
county has -begun, and will be general
in a few days. The first part of the
season it was thought crops would be
light: but the weather has been very
favorable during the past two weeks,
and from all reports there will be an
average yield. This -is encouraging,
as the indications are that the market
price will be higher than for some
years. The last harvest was a phe
nomenal one in this region; but the
price was hardly sufficient to pay the
cost of planting and cutting, and with
an average crop this season and the
price ranging from 50 to 60 cents, it
will send more money in circulation
than the abundance of grain did last
year.

Sarsaparilla
M.Hamtnerly.a well-known bnslness man
of Hillsboro, Va., sends this testimony to
the merits of Ayer's Sarsaparilla: "Several

a sore which led to erysipelas. My sufferings

WORK AT THE LOCKS.
Bemovlug the Bulkhead and Other Work
Preparatory to Opening the Canal.
The work of removing the bulkhead
is being pushed with the greatest
activity, and the contractors have
about 300 men at work on this part of
the canal. After the dirt has been re
moved, which was thrown there in
1880 to save the works there are twenty
feet of solid rock that will have to be
bla&d out before the walls above and
below can be connectea. xnis duik
head has been in position fifteen years,
and from the soil that was placed there
to protect the works from the flood of
that year snruoDery auu u-eea nave
grown to a considerable height. The
walls above and below this bulkhead
are comDleted. and two gates are in
position one at the upper and another
at the lower end oi tne caum. oa uuu
as this is removed the walls will be
connected by solid masonry, and the
embankment rip-rapped. Then two
more o-ates will be put in and boats
can pass through without any obstruc
tion. JI course tne worn wui uou oo
finished; but it will be sufficiently so
to answer the purposes of river traffic.
It was calculated that it would take 75
dfiva' work to remove the bulKhead,
and this will be accomplished some
time in September. The walls will
then be finished and the gates placed
in position, and the canal and locks at
the Cascades will be a reality. All
this work can be done by Christmas,
and there can be no doubt that by that
date the Columbia,so far as The Dalles
and vicinity are concerned, will flow
unvexed to empty its wealth of waters
into the lap of Mother Ocean.
Arrested for Forgery.
A man was arrested last night
for
passing forged checks on The Dalles
National bank. He claimed when first
taken in charge by the officer that he
was a deputy snerin irom tne IjOcks
and had a warrant of arrest from Justice
Birnie's court for a man by the name
of Edwards; but afterwards told dif
ferent stories in reference to his iden-
titv. and attempted to destroy some
papers he had on his person by throw
ing them in tne water cioset. xnis
morning when interviewed by a re
porter of the T.-M. he said his name
was f. A. Mananey, and .was en route
to his home in La Grande from Seattle
where he had sold some beef cattle. He
got on a spree and spent nearly all the
money he had. In appearance he is a
good looking man, looked as though
he had worked at hard labor, and does
not appear as though he had followed
sharp practices any length oi time.
Railroad Sold.
A Vancouver dispatch, dated yester
dav. savs:
The sale oi the Vancouver, illicSitat
& Yakima railroad was consumated to
day, the purchase being in the name of
C. N. Scott. By the terms of the sale,
the purchasers paid about itsouuu cash.
and assumed indebtedness amounting
to about $34,000. This indebtedness is
to be paid in 15-year bonds, drawing
6 per cent; the purchasers also oblige
themselves to build at least three miles
of extension of the road this year. The
sale puts an end to the litigation in the
courts.
The road is estimated to be worth
from $75,000 to $100,000. The proposed
extension will tap a valuable timber
belt, and the road already has a con
tract to move 50.000,000 feet of logs.
The Salmon Ran.
The salmon season will end on the
10th of next month, and the run in
this vicinitv has been the poorest ever
remembered since the industry has
been started. Usually there are
enough to supply the local demand
and some for export, but this year
there has not been hardly enough to
supply consumers at The Dallas. The
stage of water has been unusually low.
and this may account for the few fish
found in the Columbia. In 1890 there
was high water and last year it over
reached all former limits, and these
seasons were unprecedented in the run
of salmon. Our fishermen must be
patient and wait for another extra
flood in the Columbia.
A Sand Storm.
The east bound passenger train due
at Pendleton at 6:20 in the morning
was delayed until 10:10 yesterday morn
ing. A freight train had been stalled
in a sand drift four miles east of this
city, and had to be dug out with
shovels. The wind and sand storm of
Tuesday afternoon was terrific. Huge
masses of sand were moved, and in
many places, the contour of the coun
try was completely altered. It is the
first train delay for many months on
account of blowing sand. The com
pany has resorted to every means to
preveut such occurrences, and now
only the most severe storms can seri
ously impede the passage of a passen
ger train.

' Into the Next County.
Assessor M. O. Clark has discovered
that Grant county has heretofore been
encroaching a little more than a mile
into Gilliam county, by assessing and
taxing 2300 acres of land belonging to
the Gilman French Land & Live Stock
Company, under the mistaken impres
sion that the land was situated in
Grant county. What will be done
about the taxes c1:
through a mist.iiu
j'. county paid
to arant county
every year since the formation of Gil
liam county, may be a nut for the law
yeas to crack.
A New I'jrtlon.
Capt. H. C. Coe, of Viood River, was
in the city yesterday. He has just re
turned from a trip up the Columbia,
looking after some strawberry land,
and stopped at a poirt 2 miles below
Umatilla, on the Was-iiington side,
where he located 160 acres of govern
ment land. The land lies along the
Columbia river ,low enough to be over
flowed by the exceeding high water of
last year. It is good meadow land, but
the captain will plant part of it to
strawberries.

A 8CMMEK SCHOOL.
To be Opened at Dufur on July BSd.
By request of several teachers
have agreed to open a school of review
for teachers at J)ufur on July 22, to
continue until the August examina
tion.
Our experience in this kind of work
is considerable, having conducted sev
eral and assisted in conducting a num
ber of others. For reference we refer
to all those, some 30 in number, who
attended a similar school that we con
ducted in Thje Dalles, many of whom
are teacuera in we uuuuuy uu we jji cb
ent time. We also refer you to Hon,
Troy Shelley, county school superin
tendent of Wasco county.
Among the advantages offered by
the school will be an opportunity to
review all the branches, the use oi
teachers' library, lessons in a practice
school from one to three hours daily,
phonic drills and all the appliances of
one of the best furnished school rooms
in Wasco county. Another advantage
will be its comparative cheapness.
Board can be procured at from $2.50 to
$3.50 per week. Tuition, $3 for the
term or $1 per week.
Those who expect to pass examina
tion for teacher's certincate in August
will hnd a school of the Kind contem
plated in this notice of great value.
Of course we do not recommend it as
an absolute assurance; but it leads in
the direction and gives opportunity for
the only Known insurance, and that is
effort.
We invite all who can attend to be
with us, promising to use every effort
to make the school both profitable and
pleasing. AABOn c razier.

Concerning Quarts Location.
To make a quartz location hereafter
the prospector must sink a hole at least
ten leet deep to solid iormation, and
have at least one well defined vein and
must stake his ground so that the
stakes can be found. The notice of lo
cation must be placed in a conspicuous
place at the discovery shaft, where it
can be seen not on some stump or tree
in the neighborhood. He is allowed
ninety days to do this work. If he lo
cates an old prospect hole, he is re
quired to sink l at least ten feet deeper
than when he hrst found it, and stage
and record his location the same as
though it was an original discovery.
if he runs a tunnel it must be at least
ten feet so as to determine the fact that
a vein supposed to carry the precious
metals has been discovered.
Black Bass.
Dr. James A. Richardson, formerly
of this city, but at present residing in
Salem, has received from the east
some black bass which he has turned
loose in Mill creek near the capital
city. Judge Hayden, of Polk county,
has also received a number of these
fish and placed them in a lake on his
farm. These will largely multiply in
numbers in a few years, when the
streams in the Willamette will furnish
good sport for anglers for this fish.
These are described as very succulent
for eating purposes and exceedingly
gamy.
Peach Plums.
The Oregon Fruit Union removed
its office yesterday from the Cosmopol
itan hotel to the brick building occu
pied by The Dalles Lumber Co., on
the opposite side of the street. Its
manager will be busy during the next
two days gathering and preparing for
shipment east a carload of peach plums
from this vicinity. This will be the
first - shipment of the season from
Oregon, and will reach the market in
fine condition, establishing the well
earned reputation of Dalles fruit in
the east. '

Just What's Needed
Exelaims thousands of people who
have taken Hood's Sarsaparilla at this
season of the year, and who have noted
the success of the medicine in giving
them relief from that tired feeling,
waning appetite and state of extreme
exhaustion after the close confinement
of a long winter season, the busy time
attendant upon a large and pressing
business during tne spring months and
with vacation time yet some weeks dis
tant. It is then that the building-up
powers of Hood's Sarsaparilla are
fully appreciated. It seems perfectly
adapted to overcome that prostration
caused by change of season, climate or
life, and while it tones and sustains
the system, it purifies and vitalizes the !
blood.
